it's use to shoot air into the tyre so it will take the shape of the rim..

like the 2nd pic above..

usually rims with offset some shop can't fit the tyre & they'll force u to buy a bigger tyre..

and it doesn't look nice

When the rims are wider than the tyres, the bead area of the tyres cannot reach the end of the rims on both sides at the same time, therefore when you fill in air through the valve, air leaks from that area not reaching the rim edge. By using this unit it blows air back inside. Once the air pressure inside is able to push the tyres to reach the rims edge, the air inside will inflate the tyres.
There are other ways to do this, by using the air hose with a valve plugged on.
Another way, they push the tyres to bead on one side of the rims first, then slow push the rims the other way for the tyres to reach the other side, while pumping air through the valve.
